[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 2/3] fs: Add vfs_reflink() and the ->reflink() inode operation.

[Joel Becker]

Implement vfs_reflink(), which calls iops->reflink().  See
Documentation/reflink.txt for a description of the reflink(2) system
call.

I'm not quite certain of the security model to follow.
security_inode_link() is clearly not correct as the resulting file is
not the source inode.  I have chosen security_inode_create() to reflect
the creation of a new file in the directory.  This matches the
fsnotify_create() I've decided to use.  However, it does not reflect
that the new file will have the same contents as the source file.  The
real solution is probably either to check read access on the source or
define a new security_inode_reflink().
